Mike%20Romo

Name: Mike Romo

Bio: Originally from San Francisco, Mike Romo now finds himself in Los Angeles, after spending a few years in New York acting in Off-Off (Off?) Broadway shows and learning what terms like "wind chill" and "85% humidity" meant. In addition to acting in commercials and film, Mike works in technology as a product manager (and is the host of his own corporate talk show--long story), focusing on Internet security. Though he grew up reading comics, Mike did not start reading them regularly until 2002 and has not looked back since, and has a complex relationship with the many long boxes taking over his closets. If pressed to talk about his favorite stories and creators, he would hem and haw a bit and then start throwing out names like Darwyn Cooke, Grant Morrisson, Paul Pope, Gabriel and Fabio Moon, Matt Kindt, Ed Brubaker and mention titles like Criminal, Richard Stark's Parker, 100%, All-Star Superman, Super Spy and quickly ask what you like. While he admits to being a big fan of characters like Superman, Daredevil, Batman Spider-Man and The Flash, he's more than eager to talk about non superhero books and finds himself picking more independent books than ever. A regular writer for iFanboy, he's been known to show up in a few of the podcasts and video shows as well. When not auditioning and writing for iFanboy, Mike works at SixFoot, a creative engagement agency in Los Angeles.

    January 18, 2013 6:57 pm “Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen..." Well, no deaths, thank goodness, but wow--what a day. Congratulations to Ron and Paul. Thanks for this great letter, Ron, this is a huge deal in so many ways and I just know that both Image Comics and iFanboy will just get better throughout 2013 because of your contributions. Really looking forward to watching both of you shine! All the very best!!!
    January 10, 2013 12:19 am It's really kind of the most amazing news, when someone you know, like, and admire gets a chance to do something this big. Dan's going to do a great job. Can't wait to see what he does with this!
    December 4, 2012 6:16 pm This was one of two books that James Sime gave me over at Isotope Comics back in 2000 that got me back into comics. Really great to see it getting the recognition it deserves...though there really ought to be a sequel, great cast of characters.
    December 3, 2012 6:41 pm Not a good poster. Also, his face looks like he's noticed that one of the soldiers has farted.
    May 8, 2012 4:20 pm I think that if the X-Men movies had the team in yellow and purple, it would be really distracting and look silly. As it is, for me, I would have preferred to have had Cap were the uniform he wore in his film--I thought his current costume was just too bright. But yeah--my fear was that I thought it was going to look silly and it was not silly at all...
    May 8, 2012 4:00 pm Great comments everyone--had to share Harry Knowle's review of the film--it's the total opposite of what I wrote, which is kinda funny: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/55399 (he wants a new Avengers every 2 years..!)
    April 10, 2012 3:40 pm Really appreciated this comment --- "You'll believe a man can be good"--so right.
    April 10, 2012 3:37 pm Haha--well, I mean, that's what he said, and he said it in a warm, joking way--but he meant it and, like Conor said, lots and lots of people really do feel that way...
    April 10, 2012 3:36 pm Really nice nuance, there--I totally agree. It's so easy to be snarky and pessimistic...and Superman really flies in the face of that...
    March 28, 2012 1:42 am Didn't we just have an arc where everyone in new york just had spider powers? every time I think about going back to Spider-Man, Marvel goes out of its way to ensure it doesn't happen.
